Zionism

Derived from "Zion," an ancient Hebrew name for Jerusalem. Zionism is a movement created during the 1860s and 1870s in Europe to create a homeland for the Jewish people in Palestine. Some religious Zionists believe that this would fulfil biblical prophecy and trigger the coming of the millennium and the arrival of the Messiah.
